 * Strategies that Create the Learning Environment **

Setting Objectives Providing Feedback Reinforcing Effort Providing Recognition


 * Procedure/Brief Description: ** I will provide objectives on the SMARTboard and orally review them at the beginning of the lesson. Students will orally answer questions at the end of each web based video viewed. I will introduce the following parts of speech: noun, verb, adjective, pronoun, adverb. As a group we will discuss the definition for each vocabulary word. I will explain to the students that we will be watching short cartoon animated videos which describe the parts of speech and how to identify words that are parts of speech.


 * Strategies that Help Students Acquire & Integrate New Knowledge **

Cues, Questions, & Advance Organizers Summarizing Note taking Nonlinguistic Representation Cooperative Learning


 * Procedure/Brief Description: ** An example of cooperative learning includes brainstorming/writing words on the smartboard which are nouns, verbs, adjective, adverbs, and pronouns. Students will be asked to fill in the blanks for a story on a web based site which uses different parts of speech words. Student will demonstrate understanding by creating their own original story from a web based site. Students will follow directions from a handout and be provided with a rubric in order to understand expectations.


 * Strategies that Help Students Practice, Review, & Apply Existing Knowledge **

Homework & Practice Identifying Similarities & Differences (Compare/contrast, classify, create, metaphors or analogies) Generating & Testing Hypotheses (problem-solving, invention experimental inquiry, historical investigation, decision-making, systems analysis)


 * Procedure/Brief Description: ** The students will complete one original story using different parts of speech. The students will review how to make a smart notebook by creating illustrations and writing their original story on the notebook which will be presented to a group of their peers. The students will be evaluated based on a rubric provided prior to their writing their story. The students will be evaluated based on a rubric prior to their creating their story on the SMARTboard.
